Acute Pancreatitis Panel

The Acute Pancreatitis Panel panel contains 2 tests with 2 biomarkers.

Our Acute Pancreatitis Panel can help diagnose pancreatitis by testing for elevated levels of amylase and lipase, two enzymes produced by the pancreas. If these levels are high, it is likely that you may have pancreatitis. Our panel can provide you with the peace of mind you need to get the treatment you deserve.

Pancreatitis is a condition that occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed. The pancreas is a large gland located behind the stomach that produces enzymes that help the body digest food. Pancreatitis can be acute, meaning it comes on suddenly and lasts for a short time, or chronic, meaning it develops over time and can last for months or even years. Acute pancreatitis is usually caused by gallstones or heavy alcohol use, while chronic pancreatitis is often caused by long-term alcohol abuse.

Symptoms of pancreatitis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and rapid heartbeat. 

The Acute Pancreatitis Panel contains the following tests:

• Amylase
• Lipase
